Wu Song also looked at Xu En, his eyes clear and firm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The eyes of the two met silently in the air. It was only a moment, but it seemed like the two sides had engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter.

"Hahahaha!" Xu Eun suddenly laughed, at first softly, slowly laughing louder and louder, and finally laughed out loud. His originally tired and haggard expression was also swept away because of this laughter!

He pointed at Wu Song while laughing and said, "Okay! Good! Good! You misread Prime Minister Cai, but this official didn't misread you! ”

Wu Song didn't know what he meant. Xu En finally smiled, with a lot of joy and relief on his face, and said: "Wu Song, you dare to point out that the Prime Minister is a traitor in front of me after I showed that you were appreciated and promoted by the Prime Minister, although you are wrong, it is enough to prove that you are indeed consistent and loyal and simple." This official promoted you to be the head of the agency, it can be said that he did not see the wrong person! ”

Wu Song said firmly: "For Cai Jing, I shouldn't be wrong, and I didn't say it wrong!" ”

Xu En was no longer angry, and said lightly: "Oh? You are a country boy, how much do you know about the Prime Minister and how much do you know about the affairs of the court, so you dare to say that you are neither wrong nor wrong? In today's world, there are too many people who misunderstand and belittle the public, so how can they care about you? In any case, the right and wrong of the public minister is not something you and I can decide, nor should you and I discuss privately. Wu Song, now that you are working under this official, you only need to watch how this official behaves and does things. This official also promises you one thing, in the future, if you see that this official is corrupt, disloyal and unfilial, you can take the head of this official, how about it? ”

As he spoke, Xu En's eyes were calm, and he looked directly at Wu Song, obviously not joking.

Wu Song was shocked when he heard this.

As a person who has read some stories of "Water Margin" in his previous life, Wu Song is sure that Cai Jing is a big traitor, and he will not change this. However, although Xu En is honestly Cai Jing's person, what he has done so far has indeed made it difficult for Wu Song to associate him with the kind of insatiable corrupt official traitor.

Perhaps, Xu En is also a person who was deceived by Cai Jing. If it is said that in this legendary era of no officials, no greed, no officials, and no ink, Xu En can really insist on being a clean official, then Wu Song is indeed willing to work hard with him.

At that moment, Wu Song solemnly saluted Xu En again, and said loudly: "As long as the adult does what he says, everything he does is taken as a deed, and Wu Er is definitely willing to work with the adult to serve the adult!" ”

Xu En was overjoyed and said, "Okay! You and I are determined! ”

Wu Song said: "A word is a certainty!" ”

Xu En shouted several times in a row, and the original old and haggard state was suddenly swept away. At this point, he can be sure that he promoted Wu Song exceptionally, although he had a forced situation, but he really did not look at the wrong person.

He got up suddenly, took off the lamp, handed it to Wu Song, and said, "Go!" Accompany the official to a place! ”

Wu Song took the lantern, he didn't know what Xu En meant, he just held the lantern and walked in front of him. Xu En took him out of the study and through the corridor, but came to a pavilion in the backyard.

At this time, the sky is full of stars and the breeze is coming. Xu En pointed to the north and said, "Wu Song, you look over there first!" ”

Wu Song looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a castle in the distance, hundreds of thousands of bright red lanterns shining on a castle, the pavilions and pavilions in the castle were intertwined with canine teeth, and the lights were bright, it was obviously an extremely magnificent place.

Xu En asked Wu Song, "Do you know what kind of place it is?" ”

Wu Song had only come to Qinghe County for a short time, and shook his head and said, "I don't know! Please tell me! ”

Xu Endao: "That's Zhangjiabao!" The residence of Zhang Dahu, the largest wealthy family in Qinghe County! ”

Wu Song was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that that was where Zhang Dahu lived!

It is this Zhang Dahu who is about to snatch Pan Jinlian, according to the records in the book of his previous life, it is because he was opposed by his fierce wife and wanted to forcibly occupy Pan Jinlian, so he forced Pan Jinlian to marry Wu Dalang, and then, Wu Dalang was forced to take Pan Jinlian and fled to Yanggu County, where he met Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing hooked up and poisoned Wu Dalang, and Wu Song later killed Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in order to avenge his brother, and since then he has embarked on the road of fleeing from the rivers and lakes, Erlong falling into the grass, and ranking in Liangshan。。。。。。

It can be said that the fate of Wu Song and his brother Wu Dalang was actually caused by this Zhang Dahu.

However, because he knew that Zhang Dahu's family was in great power, he didn't have the ability to fight him and rescue Pan Jinlian at present, and he had been busy handling cases during this time, so Wu Song didn't know where this Zhang Dahu lived.

Now, looking from here, Zhangjiabao is extremely large and extraordinary, which shows that this big family is indeed a local tyrant, and the wealth of the family is incomparable.

I only heard Xu Endao: "If it is daytime, we will walk around in Qinghe City, and we will not feel how big this Zhangjiabao is." Only at night, standing here and looking out, will you find that Zhangjiabao is far bigger than our yamen! ”

Wu Song didn't know why Xu En suddenly wanted to take him to Zhangjiabao at night, but he could hear Xu En's dissatisfaction with Zhangjiabao in his words. In order to save Pan Jinlian, Wu Song will have a conflict with this big family sooner or later. If the magistrate is also dissatisfied with Zhang Dahu, then this may be beneficial to Wu Song.

But he heard Xu En say to him again: "Wu Song, you look in other directions, east, south, west!" ”

Wu Song looked in these three directions according to his words, but all he saw was pitch black, with only a few scattered lights. In fact, it is not too late at this time, but Wu Song, who was born in the countryside, knows that ordinary people tend to go to bed early in order to save lamp oil, so thousands of villages will sink into darkness early at night.

Xu En waited for Wu Song to finish reading the three sides, and asked loudly, "Wu Song, tell me what you saw?" ”

What do I see?

Wu Song didn't hesitate for long. Because, the contrast of all this is so obvious that it is easy for anyone to come up with an answer.

Wu Song looked at Xu En and said, "My lord, what I see is the gap!" ”

Xu En asked, "What gap?" ”

Wu Song said: "There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor! ”

"Good!" Xu En said happily, "You're really smart!" Do you know how huge the gap between rich and poor is? ”

Wu Song said: "Please give me advice!" ”

Xu Endao: "Then let me tell you, the fertile land owned by this Zhangjiabao family has accounted for one-fifth of Quanqinghe County!" With just the three industries of wine, tea, and salt, it can earn 100,000 taels of silver every year! And all the ordinary people in Quanqinghe County, among the 1,000 households, there are 999 households with a year's livelihood, less than three taels of silver! Zhangjiabao's annual income is worth five years of taxes for the entire Qinghe County Yamen! ”

Wu Song was shocked. Xu En's face was solemn, and he said, "This is the reason why the Prime Minister's secret envoy came to me tonight!"

Wu Song was even more surprised. In his previous life, he had also felt a serious gap between the rich and the poor. However, the gap between the rich and the poor in this era is still more serious than he imagined.

However, why did one of the most famous corrupt officials and traitors in history send a secret envoy to Qinghe Zhixian for this?
